Cup (one of a pair)

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

Two blue and white porcelain cups with scalloped edges and gold trim. The cups have a white interior and exterior with a dark blue base. White designs include a bird or swan with spread wings. The bird is surrounded by four white swastikas and white floral designs. The cups have a short base and are placed on a brown surface. The image shows one of a pair, likely made by artist Royal Copenhagen.
